"Rise Up and Pray" design calls believers to embrace the powerful discipline of prayer, capturing the essence of Jesus’ teachings on the importance of staying spiritually vigilant and connected to God. As part of the AD 33 Collective, this piece is crafted to inspire, encourage, and challenge believers to prioritize prayer in their daily lives.

Embrace the Call to Prayer

The phrase “Rise Up and Pray” is a direct call to action, urging believers to cultivate a robust prayer life. It draws from Jesus’ admonition to His disciples in Luke 22:46: “And he said to them, ‘Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.’” This design serves as a powerful reminder of the necessity of prayer in maintaining spiritual vigilance and strength.

Understanding the Scripture

In the Garden of Gethsemane, on the night of His betrayal, Jesus instructed His disciples to stay awake and pray. Luke 22:40-46 highlights the intense spiritual battle Jesus faced and the critical need for His followers to remain alert and prayerful. “Rise up and pray” was His command, emphasizing that prayer fortifies us against temptation and aligns us with God’s will.

Revival Requires Prayer

Wearing or displaying the words “Rise Up and Pray” is a bold declaration of faith and a daily reminder to prioritize prayer, aligning our hearts and minds with God’s purposes. Romans 12:12 encourages us, “Be joyful in hope, patient in
affliction and faithful in prayer.”

Embrace the Call to Vigilance

Our AD 33 Collective features designs that celebrate the life, teachings, and miracles of Jesus. These designs are a call to action, reminding us of the supremacy of Christ in all things and inspiring us to live for His glory.

May the words of Luke 22:46 resonate in our hearts: “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
